STRUCTURE OF THE EPIDIDYMAL RETINOIC ACID-BINDING PROTEIN AT 2.1 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION

Structural highlights

1epb is a 2 chain structure. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.

Function

[LCN5_RAT] Associates with spermatozoa in the epididymal fluid but does not bind tightly to them. Binds both all-trans and 9-cis retinoic acid. May act as a retinoid carrier protein which is required for epididymal function and/or sperm maturation.

Evolutionary Conservation

Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

BACKGROUND: Androgen-dependent proteins in the lumen of the epididymis are required for sperm maturation. One of these is a retinoic acid binding protein, E-RABP, which binds both all-trans and 9-cis retinoic acid. The other retinoid-binding proteins whose structures are known do not bind 9-cis retinoids. RESULTS: We describe the X-ray structure determination of E-RABP with and without bound ligand. The ligand binds deep in the beta-barrel of the protein, the beta-ionone ring innermost. The binding site, like the ligand, is amphipathic and the deepest part of the cavity is formed by a ring of aromatic amino acids. The isoprene tail of all-trans retinoic acid is bound in a folded conformation which resembles that of the 9-cis isomer. CONCLUSION: E-RABP achieves high-affinity binding of both all-trans and 9-cis isomers of retinoic acid by forcing the all-trans form to bind in a folded conformation. The RAR family of nuclear receptors for retinoic acid also binds both isomers, and their binding sites may therefore be similar.
